Bessarabian Antique Floral Sage Flatweave Wool Rug BB9245 6'3" × 10'8"

This antique Bessarabian flat-weave rug from Russia, made in the Antique period, reflects the region’s decorative weaving tradition in a refined floral composition. Its restrained palette and graphic outline give it a quietly elegant presence.

A tall, stepped medallion anchors the design, enclosing a softly blurred bouquet set against a sage field. Around it, branching vines, stylized blossoms, and leaf forms spread across the ground in a rhythm that feels both orderly and lyrical. A narrow border with small geometric repeats frames the composition, while the corner accents and apron-like ends add a subtle architectural balance.

Taupe, ivory, dusty rose, and light gray soften the overall effect, tempering the darker outlines and preserving the rug’s aged character. The result is a versatile antique flat weave with a calm pattern language that suits traditional rooms, layered transitional interiors, or spaces needing a nuanced botanical note without excess formality. Its low-profile construction makes the visual detail feel crisp and unobtrusive.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug exemplifies superior artistry, historic character, and timeless sophistication. DLB is internationally recognized for offering exceptional antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs of remarkable quality and provenance.
